Answer:

Quilt of a Country" is a commentary written by Pulitzer-prize winning author Anna Quindlen following the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

Th metaphor of a quilt is used in this text to symbolize America's diversity. There is a tension in America, which is that, despite citizens being from such different cultural and ethnic backgrounds, they can come together to build a great nation. The argument is that this resembles a "crazy quilt," which in theory should be mismatched because of the differences between its sections, but in practice comes together beautifully.

6. In section 1, what does Mather mean by bewitching when he refers to the charges brought against Martha Carrier?​
Verdich [7]

Answer:

He means that Carrier has cast a spell on people.

Explanation:

The word "bewitching" was used in the sense of "wearing a charm", so the author shows that Martha Carrier was accused of witchcraft because, according to her accusers, she had the ability to attract them, dominate them and exercise them a power that was evil, like a charm. These accusations were so powerful that they even had the ability to enchant Martha's inquisitors, making them look for more witnesses and until it was impossible to absorb her from the crime for which she was being tried.
